This bibliography makes no pretense at completeness, but may be of use to
those seeking information on other Athabaskan languages and on the family
as a whole. For Athabaskan languages spoken outside of British Columbia,
in some cases web sites devoted to these languages are a good source of
bibliographic material. In particular, for references on Navajo, see the
bibliography at the web site of the
Navajo Language Academy.
